The shock shooting on Saturday of former President Donald Trump, who is seeking a return to the White House, is reverberating around world markets, with bets that the incident boosts his re-election chances steepening the Treasury yield curve and lifting stock futures first thing. The full implications of the gun attack on Trump, who escaped with a minor injury to his ear to head to the Republican convention in Milwaukee on Monday, may take some time for the country and investors to absorb. But for now the simple conclusion is that the shooting likely increases Trump's already considerable chances of returning to the White House after November's election.  ( 62 min )

Trump was shot in the ear on Saturday during a rally in Pennsylvania in what authorities were treating as an assassination attempt.

Outsized positions in artificial intelligence darling Nvidia have boosted portfolio managers' returns this year but the bets stand to magnify risk if the chipmaker's red-hot shares see a reversal of fortune. Nvidia shares are up about 785% since the start of 2023 and have risen some 160% this year alone, boosted by demand for its chips, seen as the gold standard in the AI field. Nvidia briefly became the world's most valuable company in June before a dip in its shares returned that title to Microsoft.  ( 62 min )

European companies are seeing outsized gains and losses in their shares when they report earnings, a Reuters analysis shows, a trend that has more to do with the growing sway of fast money in the $15 trillion market than with business prospects. Take the top 60 companies in Europe's broad STOXX 600 Index: when they reported earnings over the past year, their average daily stock moves were 18% higher than eight years ago, the analysis of more than 120,000 days of share price data from LSEG shows. The reasons for this rise in volatility are hard to pin down precisely but stem in large part from the growing dominance of hedge funds that chase trends in search of quick profit, according to interviews with two dozen traders and investors as well as a review of broker research for hedge funds and other sophisticated investors.  ( 65 min )

Shock at the attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump is driving markets this Monday.

China's economy likely slowed in the second quarter as a protracted property downturn and job insecurity weighed on domestic demand, keeping alive expectations Beijing will need to unleash more stimulus.

When Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD opened its first Southeast Asian factory in Thailand earlier this month, the nation of 66 million people basked in the limelight and won praise for its industrial vision.

A dramatic escalation in U.S. political tension and violence looms over world markets on Monday after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on Saturday, with Asian assets the first to show what the impact - if any - will be on trading and investing. If the shooting strengthens Trump's election hopes, analysts reckon so-called 'Trump-victory trades' could include a stronger dollar and a steeper U.S. Treasury yield curve. Even before Saturday's violence, there was no shortage of meaty issues for investors in Asia to get their teeth into on Monday - from snowballing U.S. rate cut expectations to suspected Japanese FX intervention and a deluge of economic data from China including second quarter GDP.  ( 61 min )

SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Saturday's shooting at former U.S. President Donald Trump's election rally raises his odds of winning back the White House and betting on his victory will increase, investors said. Trump was shot in the ear during a rally in Pennsylvania in what authorities were treating as an assassination attempt. Before the shooting, markets had reacted to the prospect of a Trump presidency by pushing the dollar higher and positioning for a steeper U.S. Treasury yield curve, and those moves extended a little in Asia trade on Monday morning.  ( 62 min )

The Trump campaign later said the former president was "doing well" and appeared to have suffered no major injury besides a wound on his upper right ear. "Perhaps we see the market begin projecting longer-term rates higher, and anticipating lower short-term rates, because I think it's clear that as president, Trump would push for lower rates right away."  ( 63 min )

Vietnamese electric vehicle (EV) maker VinFast is delaying the launch of its planned $4 billion factory in North Carolina to 2028 and cutting its delivery forecast for this year by 20,000 units amid uncertainties in the global EV market.

Looming U.S. interest rate cuts are presenting investors with a tough choice: stick with the Big Tech stocks that have driven returns for more than a year or turn to less-loved areas of the market that could benefit from easing monetary policy.

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission's declaration that these practices are illegal did not name any specific companies as being in violation of the law, but in doing so it took a stance on issues that have inflamed tensions in recent years between companies and operators at major brands like McDonald's and Subway.

With the Federal Reserve signalling it is close to cutting rates and the Bank of Japan intent on slowly raising its rates from near zero this year, the wide 5 percentage point spread between dollar and yen interest rates should shrink eventually, helping arrest if not reverse the yen's depreciation.  ( 26 min )
